Yesterday we went to some friends house for their sons' birthday /Halloween party. They always do a fabulous job on their Halloween spread- the food and decorations are awesome! So, she had made this popcorn thing, and I asked for the recipe. She wrote it down for me so I don't know whom to credit with this evil...
4 quarts popped popcorn
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons light corn syrup
a dash of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 drops yellow food coloring
4 drops red food coloring
Put the popcorn in a very large bowl.
In a pot, melt butter, mix in sugar, salt and corn syrup. Bring to a boil, then let it bubble 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat, stir in food coloring and vanilla. Pour the mixture all over the popcorn, and mix to coat. Transfer to to 2 baking pans coated in cooking spray. bake at 250 degrees for 45 minutes. Stir the mix every few minutes. Cool on parchment paper, and eat- nor not!
